Official Conclusion
Unable to positively identify the UAP
Official Description
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) submitted a report of an unidentified anomalous phenomenon (UAP) to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) consisting of a still image derived from a U.S. military system in 2025. The original imagery was altered with redactions before being submitted to AARO. An accompanying mission report was not provided. The operator reported that they were unable to positively identify the UAP. The date in the image is incorrect due to system date/time not being set. Narrative Description: The monochrome image displays a grainy texture with a central crosshair reticle. No distinct objects are clearly visible within the central area of the frame. The background shows an indistinct formation, possibly a mountain range. This narrative description is provided for informational purposes only. Readers should not interpret any part of this description as reflecting an analytical judgment, investigative conclusion, or factual determination regarding the described event’s validity, nature, or significance.
Key Findings
A single still infrared/sensor image submitted by the FBI to AARO in 2025, derived from a U.S. military system. The image is heavily redacted with black bars obscuring metadata and contextual data fields, and the embedded timestamp (12/31/99 18:12:20) is acknowledged as incorrect due to system clock misconfiguration. No accompanying mission report was provided, and the operator could not positively identify the observed UAP.
Analyst Notes
Significant credibility limitations: image timestamp is known to be incorrect due to unconfigured system clock; no accompanying mission report was provided; the image is heavily redacted with contextual metadata blocked; no distinct object is visible in the central frame; single sensor image with no corroborating witness testimony, radar, or additional sensor data; the FBI is an atypical UAP reporting agency, and the absence of a mission report leaves operational context entirely unknown.
